Biography

Seneca F. Deane, M. D. Son of Capt. Daniel and Jerusha (Houghton) brother of Erastus P., mentioned in the early part of these sketches. Born
1816, raised on a farm, commenced his schooling at district, No. 10, supplemented by heme study, after his day's work. Learned the carpenter's trade, then commenced as journeyman millwright at Mayo's mills, in the vicinity of his home, worked at this two or three years, and then continued it for three years more in the employ of Lysander Richardson, Athol. Receiving an injury to his arm that was pronounced permanent by one of the foremost physicians, he commenced the study of the Botanic practice of medicine, and was graduated in Vermont, 1843, when Dr. Silas Wilcox of Bennington was president of the Board. Subsequently his arm regained its strength and he again took up his mechanical employment. Iu 1851 he left his
native state for Wisconsin where he remained but five months, when he removed to western New York where he took up the practice of medicine, and soon obtained the confidence of a large circle of patrons. In 1857 he again removed to Wisconsin where he continued the practice several years, then moved to Darlington, Lafayette Co., and resumed his trade as millwright, to which he added the office of referee in deciding the law of water rights and privileges, a matter he had studied, and hence became master of the situation, building the motive power of flouring mills that worked with the utmost nicety and satisfaction, continuing eight years, when his lungs become seriously affected, and the case aggravated by the dust attendant on his wTork. As a last resort he moved to Carleton, Nebraska, where he once more resumed the practise of medicine, which he has continued for eleven 3rears, and is still perscribing for the benefit of patients. In early life he was a strong pro-slavery man, but on getting nearer the field, and becoming better acquainted with the institution, he became a convert to the other side, and took a bold, outspoken and prominent part in behalf of the slave, even
to being conductor on the underground railroad and assisted the escape of the fugitives, in every way that a fearless and determined man could.
Always temperate himself for forty-five years he has done his best to inculcate the principle to those around him by practice and precept, and for nearly the same length of time he has been a staunch believer in "the good time coming" when the women shall vote. Of stalwart figure, decided opinions, keen
perceptions, he is a good representative of New England pluck and perseverence.¹
